What if it Snows?

In all the accidents and roll overs I had in my younger days. I learned long ago. If you want to survive what ever accident?
Close your eyes (after there is no more controlling it) and repeat silently as things are crashing around you... "Go limp, go limp, go limp". I have walked away from some pretty horrific tumbles.

 

Fixing to go to bed.... browsing my archives here, found this old picture.... Can't remember where it was... this kitty showed up where I was parked.. can't remember if it was a truck stop or what... Kitty was very friendly and enjoyed being around me and the truck... didn't seem to belong to anybody... If I wanted, I could have "adopted" it... but I didn't want another "animal" in the truck... I was enough already....

 

And 2 last pictures from my archives....
Couldn't decide which one to keep... so kept both...







Good night y'all... stay safe and warm out there...

 

rest easy Rocks...here's a snap shot of the weather at my place right now.

 

so true, I've known many guys that were drunk and survived horrific crashes, and their sober friend in the accident dies.

 

Then there is the arthritis I can almost be afraid for future RA (rheumatoid arthritis is a possibility.)

I have osteo arthritis, when joints break you throw in artificial joints and carry on. In some ways I am better than I was ever and in other ways there are additional losses. They had to cut a major tendon in order to complete the total dislocating the joint out of the pelvic socket then the entire upper half of the leg bone and it's attached muscles through the incision so they can saw off the dead joint far enough down to clear the dead bone out of there. Unfortunately that marrow in the upper leg is also destroyed reducing your ability to reissue new blood cells over time. Took me 3 days to volume replace the lost blood (About 400 CC total) and two months before it was replaced by new blood cells to replace the lost cells and die off. Whats down there inside the bone is essentially plaster and new bone has grown around sealing the titanium implant leg section pernamently. When it comes to time to do cremation they will simply chop out that entire metal joint So it does not cause problems with the incinderator process. (If you left it in there, it will retain enough heat value hot enough to try and torch the attendant should he or she accidently touch the thing. The human body will simply flare up like a living torch for about a minute) Part of it is ceramic of very high quality it will attempt to store a great deal of heat value. Makes it a dangerous source if left in the body to cremate.

 

I testify to one person in particular at the I-35 I think it was northbound at the walmart distribution NE side of San Antonio. He slammed his ford taurus into the decap bar of my number two who has gotten ahead of me while I fueled at pilot. That fueling probably removed me as the one he might have hit instead. They estimated his speed at about 115+ off the blackbox in the frame of the car. The number two driver saw him coming fast and horsed his wheel right very quicky to try and get that car to miss him and his rig entirely on the left But it caught the corner of the Great Dane Decap bar and both of the rear dual tires in front of them on the left side.

The car was a pile of scrap less than waist high And for him to stagger around the fields after EMS slapped a number of tiny bandgages on him. mostly around the head and wrists etc. The truck was doing company speed limit 72 on the governor so the relative speed was under 40 at the smash. Still severe particulary as it spun off towards the median wall.

It never stops amazing me how people get so far out from reality with drugs, drinking etc and have a lethal smash reduced to a few aches and pains after the fact.

 

As a side note, windows 7 as of tonight is no longer updated, protected or secured in any way from Microsoft in Redmond WA 1-14-20 is the formal date of no more support for this program. You can still activate etc but you are on your own, explorer and office products wont work on it. *(I use open office and adobe along with mozilla) You can expect your computer to become more out of date as the year progresses to where you must expect to have it compromised and penetrated by those who have motivation now to do it while people do not install norton, get behind a wired router and a run a Proxy VPN. to try and essentially rape a windows computer to get at the banking and other valuable considerations.

Without leaving too much info behind, both of our machines running 7 has been stripped of data that is important to have safe. Its just a chess, gaming online sort of machine now. Eventually I will evolve to Win 10, but it will be a cold day before I adopt that standard. So I fall back to old way of defenses, having nothing that mattered on the machine.

So after tonight it's a final date of death for win7, unfortunately Redmond sees about 47% of all computers still running Win 7 even after a decade or more. Ive been using it since day one. After I upgraded from Win ME and Win Xp at the same time. Win Me was a good little windows, nothing runs in process or service unless you allow it. You can reduce it to about 3 processes and 5 services and have a creaky old 800 meg Pentium three run as fast as you can think, provided you can cool it.
